Wreele Douglas, FBI Agent (scam alert)

Please share this scam alert with your friends on Facebook and Twitter.

This is a variant of the classic abandoned shipment scam, where the scammer claims to have a shipment for you and it needs to be picked up. In this case it is a supposed fortune from a lottery. (And it’s at the Baltimore-Washington Airport in a golden metal box!)

My Name is Wreele Douglas. An FBI Agent. I am a contract staff currently attached to the verification department of the Camelot Group of the Online National Lottery mainly for non UK citizens. Your winning check of $4,306,515 (Four Million, three hundred and six thousand, five hundred and fifteen United States Dollars only) was about to expire due to your inability to travel to our office in London as the Lottery rules and regulations demanded. However, I managed to convert the check to cash in a Golden Metal Trunk Box because it was the only way to circumvent you from losing your life time opportunity.

To avoid multiple taxations and the bank charges as overdue and unclaimed lottery fund, I have successfully dispatched your golden metal box with Reg# UK8100SA through cargo and the golden metal box has arrived Baltimore–Washington International Airport cargo unit, and has passed through custom checks.

The golden metal box is now at the airport storage facility at the cost of $25 dollars daily. Every documentation and process is legitimate because it is a lottery winning fund. Please kindly make sure you contact Mr. George Ellis on (410) 824-4742 and email (georgeellis382@qq.com). I have done everything to make sure you receive your winning. Please call the officer’s number below for a verification and QUICK process.

Note: Do not disclose the content of the Golden Metal Box to Mr. George Ellis or to anyone for security reasons.

Important Note

Please be aware that scammers often use the names of real people and legitimate businesses in their fraudulent messages. Why? To lend an air of legitimacy to their criminal enterprise. Just because the name of a real person or a real bank or a real government agency appears in a scam message that doesn't mean the person or organization in question is involved in the scam in any way. The scammers are just stealing these names in order to make themselves look legitimate.
